I don’t think the carbon center is meant to be separated from the SS or Ti ends (at least not easily). There is a single pin holding the three pieces together. Looks like the metal ends may be pressed into the pin. I’m sure it’s possible to separate with force, but don’t know how easy it is to press the pieces back together.

Thanks for the information buddy 👍
 
I've taken em apart but they're not meant to be. The pin that runs through the center plastic is a press fit into each metal part and require some tinkering to get em apart without damaging the plastic. It's not something I'd probably do again I only did it on the 1 because the band was very beat up and needed complete re working of the metal and the plastic parts.
